COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:

 

“Although we generated growth in revenues and achieved our second consecutive year of profitability, 2014 has been a disappointing year for the housing industry and Hovnanian,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During 2014 both Hovnanian and the industry experienced a decline in sales pace per community versus 2013 and that slower pace remains substantially below normal annual levels. We began fiscal 2015 on a much better note. Going forward, we are focused on growing our revenues so that we will be able to leverage our fixed SG&A and interest costs, which would help drive increased profitability. We continue to believe the housing industry remains in the early stages of a recovery. Improving demographic and employment trends should result in a more robust housing market that returns both national housing starts and sales pace per community to normalized levels,” concluded Mr. Hovnanian.
